H70-15 Wide Oval tire question

300deluxe · #1 12-19-2014, 07:19 PM

I have a 1969 Lemans with 15"x7" Rally two's. Wondering about tires for these wheels. I want Wide Ovals on my car. A guy on Craigslist has a set of four H70-15 that have less than 200 miles, near new for $200. Would they look good all the way around or just on the rear, then get F or G 70's for front. Any comments, and pics of cars with H70's in rear. Please help, thanks, Troy

Those tires are really too big for that car. Especially on the front.

X2...F-70 in front will be perfect for that car.

H's on the front..................a steam roller!
E or F's up front!

H is the height. 70 is the width. You can run H-70's all around, especially if you can get a set for $200! I would jump on them

I hope you ate your Wheaties or have power steering!

I have manual quick ratio steering in a
SB with F60 15's on 7" wheels which I'm sure you saw,,,,,not to bad to steer parking or low speed tight turning ?
Your thoughts Sam.

Vice versa-- Letters were replaced by mm for width and the 60/70 are the side profile (percentage of the tread coverage of the sidewall).

L60 and F60-15 are a great big and little combo for a rake. L60 and F70-15's are close to level. G60-15 aqnd E60-15 are the tire setup used on the AAR 'Cuda and the T/A Challenger.
